The Dress

Mariana Hardwick Saskia Gown, purchased in 2022 for my October 2022 wedding.
Excellent condition - I only wore it for a few hours before changing into my reception outfit. It has been professionally dry cleaned since and stored in the garment bag and box.

The gown was purchased from the Mariana Hardwick boutique in South Melbourne and although it is marked as a size 16 on the label, I had it altered to fit me. I'm usually between a size 12-14, please see measurements as reference.

It is a beautiful floor length gown with an off the shoulder neckline and train.
The train has been reinforced at the hem to give the perfect drape, and I had a loop sewn in so it can be bustled up, though I didn't use this on my wedding day.

I'm 160cm tall, and wore 7cm heels on the day. The dress can easily be altered again due to the panel construction, and can be shortened to wear as a reception dress or for another bridal function also.
